It has been a couple of months since we checked in on Meredith Becraft, the twenty-something traveler, ever in search of great items to resell and beautiful scenes to photograph. O. Henry Magazine wrote a nice article about Meredith this month. She has taken to the road in an old Airstream trailer in search of trash to turn to treasure. She takes outdated furniture, works a little artistic magic, with the help of a can of chalk paint, and turns the pieces into something that even the finest homes in Greensboro display. Above, Meredith is featured at the entrance of her Airstream. You can see a glimpse of her style in the rejuvenated interior.
Meredith has a little bit of turtle in her and the Airstream is her shell. By day, she it out on a mysterious trail, heading in a direction that might be readily apparent only to her. By night, she is tucked neatly in her cozy, silver shell. If you are interested in keeping up with Meredith's adventures, you can follow her on Salvager Dolly. Alternatively, stop by Aubrey House on Old Battleground (near Southern Foods) and find out the latest news on this brave young woman. Hats off to following your dream, even if it means heading all the way to the west coast..... and back.
Thanks for making your readers aware of Meredith and her adventures. The link to her blog did not work. Also, can you explain in which way Meredith is connected to the Aubrey House on Old Battleground?
Thanks!

Meredith has a booth there, where she sells her refinished furniture and other treasures. She may be related to the owner. Next time we stop by Aubrey House, we'll inquire. We'll check on the link. It was working when we tried it the other day. Thanks for your comments and interest, Katja!!!

I just stumbled across this! The working link should be https://www.facebook.com/#!/SalvagerDolly ... that is the place you should all be able to keep up with me! Thank you to everyone for the love and support, it means the world to me!
